API development: best practices
The average user, who visits dozens of websites every day, doesn't even think about how many times a day he or she uses the technology of data exchange between different software. We do not notice how an application we open communicates with other services, be it a card, a payment system or social networks.
A modern tool that simplifies communication between different systems is the API (Application Programming Interface). This is a code or set of rules that allows programs to connect and communicate with each other. This connection acts as a kind of "translator", applications share their data with external users (laptop, desktop, mobile or network device). Specialists from the Emat EOOD IT company revealed the details of how the API works.

APIs we don't notice
Quick authentication allows a user to log in to a resource of interest using their Facebook, X or Google profile credentials. Flight booking sites aggregate thousands of flights, showing the cheapest options for each date and destination, and hotel availability. The taxi software we hail in two clicks interacts with car tracking systems and payment gateways.
APIs in navigation applications display static or interactive maps. Users interact with APIs to create routes or track deliveries. Social networks use APIs to make their content easily interact with other platforms.
All of the above are examples of API technology that enables different programs to work together, opens up access to resources, and provides modularity and flexibility in application management.
Types of APIs
Different types of APIs allow efficient communication between systems and applications.
Emat EOOD builds and integrates APIs from design, technology selection, code writing, integration with existing systems. And all the way through to testing and deployment. We invite you to take a look at our solutions. They will help you to make your business more flexible and efficient.

Types of APIs
Different types of APIs allow efficient communication between systems and applications.
- Operating system APIs: These APIs allow applications to receive data from the system and change its settings. For example, when you install a new application, it uses operating system APIs to configure itself and interact with other parts of your device.
- Programming language APIs: APIs help different functions and libraries interact properly. They simplify development by allowing developers to use out-of-the-box solutions and code snippets, which speeds up the creation of programs.
- APIs on the Web: On the web, APIs allow different services to share data and work together. For example, if you use a weather app, it can get data from different weather services through their APIs. If all webAPIs suddenly went offline, many online services would stop working at the same time.

Process automation
Coordinating your business and avoiding disruptions is difficult when your company uses multiple systems to manage orders, inventory and customer data. Often, when information is updated in one system, it must be manually transferred to the others. Not only is this time-consuming, but it can also lead to errors.
API solves this problem by automatically linking different systems. For example, when a customer places an order on the website, the information is immediately transferred to the inventory management system and the CRM. Everything happens quickly and effortlessly, helping to reduce errors and save time.
APIs are tailored to interact with external services and platforms such as payment gateways, CRM, ERP, marketing tools and other SaaS solutions.

Improve customer interaction
Today's users are already accustomed to user-friendly applications and speed. APIs allow you to integrate different services directly into your application or website. Do you want your users to be able to quickly pay for purchases using different payment systems? Or maybe you need the app to display data from external sources, such as maps or weather conditions?
The API makes this possible. It connects the app to external services (payment gateways, CRM, ERP, marketing tools and other SaaS solutions) and displays the information on a single screen. APIs also connect to the customer's internal systems (databases, applications and other services).
Accelerate development and deployment of new functionality
Developing new features can be time-consuming, especially if you're trying to build everything from scratch. APIs allow you to use off-the-shelf solutions and services to speed up the process. For example, instead of developing your own system for sending notifications, you can integrate an existing service through an API.
Scale your business
As your business grows, it's important to be able to easily adapt and extend systems. APIs make scaling easier by allowing your application to interact with new services and platforms without having to completely rewrite your code.
Support and security
Emat's development specialists carry out a detailed analysis of the customer's business requirements to understand what functions and data need to be made available via the API. During the design phase, we select the most appropriate architecture (REST, GraphQL, gRPC).
Emat EOOD develops reliable and secure APIs. We set up sophisticated authentication (user verification system), use encryption to protect data from unauthorised access and implement protection against various attacks and cyber threats.
